Latest Brooks Vapor 9 feel different!!!

happyplodder

I have been very happy with Brooks Vapor 9 so two months ago when requiring a new pair I purchased another pair which I presume was the latest model. However, they feel different like their is more support which I find very uncomfortable. On long runs my feet become very sore in a bruised way rather than rubbing. Has anyone else had this problem? I am also wondering whether to try the Brooks Pure Cadence as feel as a forefoot striker less support would be good.

I bought the new version of my old shoes (the sole is exactly the same just changes to the uppers) and really didn't get on with them. I ran nearly 150 miles in them and was getting sore feet every time I went over about 6 miles.  Then I was messing about with the laces and loosened them off a bit near the front and they've been fine since. They never felt tight but must've been.
